Since Little Mix announced in late 2021 that they’d begoing on an indefinite hiatusfollowing the group’s 2022 Confetti Tour, Edwards and fellow members Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock have all teased plans for solo music.
In February, Edwards shared photos from a recording studio onInstagramalongside the caption, “Exciting things coming…”
Before the hiatus started, Edwards toldCapital FMthat Little Mix will likely resume making music as a group within a few years. “Honestly, we haven’t even parted ways yet and we’re already talking about when we’re coming back! We’re like, ‘Is two years away enough? Two and a bit years?'” she said at the time.
